[quote]UPDATE: FOUR daredevils dressed in business suits ordered cocktails before they were seen BASE jumping from the Rialto Towers in Melbourne's CBD last night.
The group of thrill-seekers reportedly made the leap from the 243-metre skyscraper about 7.30pm, freefalling before opening their parachutes for a soft landing.
They had been drinking at the prestigious Vue de monde restaurant – on Level 55 of the 56-floor building – before the jump.
Restaurant owner Shannon Bennett said the four men - wearing business suits - walked into the venue’s Lui Bar with travel suitcases and ordered Negroni cocktails before throwing themselves off the building.
"Basically, four guys came upstairs with parachutes hidden underneath their jackets," Mr Bennett said.
"We don’t allow anyone to bring any baggage upstairs so basically we asked them to take the baggage off them.
"They said they needed it for a presentation they were doing in the function and we told them to obviously get the gear out for the presentation and they proceeded to do so.
“They ordered some drinks at the bar.
“One went to the bathroom, followed by the rest, straight out to the balcony and pretty much jumped straight off.”

Haha, nice
Such pros
BASE drop
Badass?
hahha i live in Melbourne where this happened last night, the local papers in the morning were calling these dudes "reckless" and "endangering city-goers". More like total badasses.
Still pretty dangerous, props to them.

Key word would be "dangerous to them"
I've heard of dine and dash but Drink and Drop?

these lot were just being pre-emptive about "drinking 'till you drop"
Well I understand them well. Ever tried waiting for an elevator? Takes forever, and then on the 55th floor? I'd had jumped too.
Last time I had a few drinks I base jumped aswell.
Straight off a curb.

i've done that way too many times
It's no Italian Job, but that was a classy kinda heist. Even though it's probably less of a heist and more of a "drink-'n'-dash". Nonetheless it was awesome even if it was thievery.
Jeez, how much did they drink to offset the costs of the parachutes and planning? And like, what did they do when they were on the ground? I would assume they were in an urban area.

Maybe they did it just for the hell of it

Thievery? There's been far worse thieveries than just a few guys drinking something then jumping out of the building like this. I bet they just did it for the hell of it.
yes people i'm sure they parachuted out of the building JUST to avoid paying their tab :|
Apparantly there was a getaway car, and this [i]isnt the first time this has happened[/I]

walked back up and paid for the drinks
[QUOTE=download;35132837]Key word would be "dangerous to them"[/QUOTE]
Erm no, it's actually dangerous to bystanders on the streets considering it could end up with someone getting crushed by a falling man.
People do this all the time in Vegas.
Some with, and without parachutes.

I can see the barkeep yelling [i]"Dammit not again!"[/i] as people hurl themselves off the balcony.

Sounds like something a saints row character would do
There needs to be a mission like this in Payday

"Let's bring some parachutes in case they ask us to pay"
James Bond level of dedication to avoiding bills.
[QUOTE=PaChIrA;35138908]There needs to be a mission like this in Payday[/QUOTE]"Alright now. Chains, you and Hoxton go and order the drinks for each of us. Wolf, you make sure the parachutes are all working right. I'm gonna go take a piss. Ohh shit! She wants us to pay the bill, fuck guys, come on. We gotta blow this shit! Hurry, the other customers have seen us! We got a manager incoming in one minute!"
holy fuck
this is some straight secret agent shit
Reminds me of Saints Row 3.
